3 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire in West Bank
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – Three Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, according to the Health Ministry.
A ministry statement said a 14-year-old boy lost his life to Israeli army fire in Ein Sultan refugee camp in Jericho city.
According to the state news agency Wafa, the boy was shot in the chest by Israeli forces during a military raid in the camp. He was transferred to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The ministry said another two Palestinians were killed near the town of Sa’ir east of Hebron, without providing any details about the circumstances leading to their death.
The Palestinian Red Cross Society said the two young men were killed by gunfire near the settlement of Asfar in Wadi al-Reem near the town of Sa’ir.
A Palestinian source told Anadolu that the young men were on a hunting trip east of the town when they came under fire.
Tension has been running high across the West Bank amid almost daily Israeli raids into Palestinian towns as Tel Aviv continues its deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip, which has left nearly 24,000 people dead.
Around 5,875 Palestinians have been detained in 100 days of Israeli military raids in the occupied West Bank, according to figures released by the Palestinian Prisoner Society.
